No, fireman, ONCE AGAIN, you are distorting what I said. Here is my exact quotation:

“Neither Apple nor Tim Cook are among the listed donors to the Clinton Foundation, nor has Apple ever paid either of the Clintons to come and make a speech, nor were they among the major donors to the Democrats in the 2012 Election cycle. There were some small, minor donations from individuals associated with Apple and the Apple Employees Political Action Committee made donations, but NOT Apple.”

Look Swordmaker, I distorted nothing, your obvious intention with the statement was to convince people that Tim Cook and Apple are not closely associated to the Clinton Foundation. As with so many of your statements in this thread, this is simply far from the truth. Executive Vice President of Apple Lisa Jackson, is on the foundation's board. And Tim Cook, is close enough to Bill Clinton from his association with the Clinton foundation that he is the second person that he said that he called when he was subpoenaed by Congress to testify about Apples “unusual” tax avoidance strategies.

Now you are using "guilt by association," one of the forms of the Argumentum Ad Hominem Fallacy. I did not know about that idiot Lisa Jackson being on the Board of the Clinton Foundation, although it does not surprise me, because I have not seen a list of the members of the Clinton Foundation board members. Concluding that because an Apple employee is on the Board of Directors of the Clinton Foundation does not equate to Tim Cook is closely associated with the Clinton Foundation. She is also on the Board of Directors of Tulane University, does that mean that Tim Cook is also associated with Tulane University?

You've distorted everything I have written.

You have STILL misquoted me every time you claim you are "quoting" me. Just stop claiming I say something and then erecting straw men based on your misquotations. I did NOT say that Tim Cook was not associated with the Clinton Foundation. I said he was not listed as a donor, and Apple is not donated either. Neither one is listed. But that may be understandable, as I explained.


We get it. You don't like Apple, you don't like Tim Cook. Just quit your over-the-top exaggerations!
